No, it doesn't.

If you are currently using an online account to file yours, just create a separate account for her.

If you are using the desktop version, to start another return in the software, at the left upper corner, in the File menu, select New Return. On the next screen, select the blue link Start a New Return

You have to pay for down load software. Online is frequently free (except state).

If she doesn't qualify for the regular Free, TurboTax also has another free product called the Free File Edition (not to be confused with the regular Free Edition). It has free Federal preparation and free State preparation. There is no efiling fee. It is not available after October 15

The Free file Edition can handle a 1099-MISC.

The Free file Edition is more fully-featured than the regular Free Edition. The Free File Edition can prepare Schedule A, C, D, E, and F that the Free Edition cannot.

For Free File Edition a user needs to meet only ONE of these qualifications:

AGI of $34,000 or less
or active duty military (including Reservists and National Guard) with a military-issued W-2 and a 2018 AGI of $66,000 or less
or eligible for the Earned Income Credit (EIC aka EITC).

The FREE FILE Edition is located at:
